Samantha Ruth Prabhu's emotional Instagram post chronicles her one-year battle with Myositis

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu poured her heart out on Instagram, sharing a poignant and empowering message about her eventful one-year journey dealing with Myositis. During her visit to the Church of Saint Sava in Siberia, she found solace and strength through her prayers to Jesus. 

Reflecting on the challenges, professional setbacks, and personal growth, Samantha opened up about the transformative experience she underwent. Accompanied by captivating pictures she penned a lengthy caption that read, "It’s been one year since the diagnosis. A year of forced new normal. Many battles with my body… no salt, sugar or grains with a cocktail of meds for main course, forced shut downs and forced restarts. A year of seeking meaning, reflection and introspection. Of professional failures too… to make things more interesting☺️ A year of prayers and poojas… not praying for blessings and gifts… but praying to just find strength and peace."

She further wrote, "A year that has taught me that not everything goes your way all the time. And more importantly, that it’s ok when it doesn’t. That I must control the controllables, let go off the rest, and keep moving forward one step at a time. That sometimes it’s not about grand successes, but that functioning forward is in itself a win. That I mustn’t sit around waiting for things to be perfect again or wallowing in the past. That I must hang on to love and those I love… and not give hate the power to affect me. There will be so many of you fighting far harder battles. I pray for you too. The gods may delay, but they never deny. They never deny peace, love, joy, and strength to those who seek it. The only things worth seeking."

Meanwhile, on the professional front, she is gearing up for the Amazon original series 'Citadel' alongside Varun Dhawan.
